As Seen In
Everything started from a material perspective:
To recycle as much material as possible in an environmentally and financially sustainable form.
Our Impact in Numbers
We do this with a consortium structure
We are a consortium of companies that work under The One Project’s banner to bring our innovative recycling events and services to life. The One Project to rule them all.

Our group is dedicated to developing NextGen and disruptive recycling technologies for various industries. With the support of our parent company, we have established specialized branches to focus on the full potential of each of them.

Our modular approach ensures that all our solutions, from recycling to 3D printing, and from business solutions to events and activations, the technologies can be seamlessly integrated to help our clients achieve their green strategy goals.

SMALL-SCALE Recycling Lines
Introducing our revolutionary Nano Recycling Lines - the future of recycling. Our advanced technology is engineered to be the most flexible recycling system on the market.

The modular design, housed in transportable containers, can be installed on any location. It allows you to process all ridged or film plastic types locally at the source, with a capacity of up to 500 KG/h.

With a low CAPEX investment, our system is a cost-effective solution, balancing your return on investment based on your own material streams. In addition, our Nano Recycling Lines are easy to operate, making the recycling process accessible to everyone.

Appreciation from Fellow Innovators
(AKA Our Clients)
I had the pleasure of working with Colossus and The One Project on a factory improvement project.
I can only speak highly of this well-rounded team. The team is highly knowledgeable, they think along and are open minded to experts of other fields.

Together we have been able to make an awesome functional end-product with 3D printing. Not only is the performance of the printed part on par with requirements set by the factory. It was also possible to take along some wishes of the operators and have functionality of the products validated along the way. And it works beautifully.

“Amazing things happen by collaboration. Partnering with The Rubbish Project is an innovative journey how to redefine end of life with production in mind and stop treating things as waste but treat them as valuable raw material/building blocks for something new.


Or as they say it, if we don’t end waste now we will have a rubbish future”
